Distinguished by its unique approach and celebrity author, MATH DOESN'T SUCK is an encouraging voice in the wilderness, enticing middle school girls to explore, understand, and even enjoy mathematics. Former television actress Danica McKellar (THE WONDER YEARS), who majored in math at UCLA, proffers math as a source of challenging fun as well as a potential, though currently unpopular, career and study choice for females. The book has a friendly, magazine-like layout and tone, with personal stories and amusing sidebars (horoscopes, quizzes) to support basic middle-school math instruction (percentages, exponents, square roots, etc.). It just may turn on a new generation of Descarteses and Fibonacci's.
